Congratulations! I gave up nursing for a while and went to work at my friend's boarding kennel. Though I had always had a physical job, I must say, that one wore me out, especially on those cold, winter days and when it rained...and when a pup "escaped" into the yard out of his/her kennel But what fun it was going each day to see all the pups, meet so many new breeds etc. I wanted to take them ALL home! My passion was the seniors and special needs ones. And I learned so much about dog behavior! One word of caution, you might find yourself staying there for LONG after your shift is over, just to play with and love on the dogs! Have fun!
